Opening Song

Book: My Bus by Byron Barton

Song: “The Wheels on the Bus”
The wheels on the bus go round and round,
Round and round, round and round,
The wheels on the bus go round and round,
All through the town

Additional verses:
The doors on the bus go open and shut…
The driver on the bus says “Move on back”…
The wipers on the bus go swish swish swish…
The people on the bus go up and down…
The horn on the bus goes beep beep beep…
